San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Mac Jones (knee) is not at training camp practice on Tuesday after spraining his knee in the second preseason game over the weekend, according to The Athletic's David Lombardi. Jones' injury isn't believed to be serious, but it explains the recent signing of Nate Sudfeld for additional QB depth. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Jones will not play in the club's preseason finale on Saturday against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, the Niners believe that Jones will be ready for Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. In addition to Sudfeld, the team has Carter Bradley in their QB room behind starter Brock Purdy. The 26-year-old Jones will be off the fantasy radar unless he's forced into a starting role in 2025 due to a Purdy injury.

New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough believes he has shown enough through training camp practices and preseason games to lead his team. The Saints are the only team yet to announce their Week 1 starter at quarterback. While Jake Haener has an outside shot at the job, the belief around camp is that the decision will come down to Shough or second-year signal-caller Spencer Rattler, who started six games for the team last season. Shough and Rattler appeared in all three of the team's preseason games, each throwing one touchdown and one interception, and Rattler barely taking the edge in completion percentage and yards per attempt. The Saints spent an early second-round pick on Shough, and with the team going 0-6 in Rattler's starts last season, the belief has been that Shough would have to struggle mightily not to get the Week 1 start. Regardless of who the team plugs into the starting job, the fantasy output of New Orleans looks bleak, with only Alvin Kamara worthy of a top-50 pick.
